Robert Perez

Why I'm proud and privileged to be your Lawyer

My name is Robert Perez and I am proud to call myself a trial lawyer. I practice personal injury law in both Washington and California, representing ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances. Whether my clients are facing the loss of a loved one killed through the negligence of another, or simply fighting an insurance company that is attempting to deny them a slip & fall claim, I am their Champion, fighting the Insurance Industry in the State and Federal courts. I received my law degree from Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1977, and my undergraduate degree from San Jose State University in 1974 in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. In addition to my experience as an experienced jury trial lawyer, I've also held positions as a senior technology leader for high-tech companies like Apple Computer and Autodesk. What makes my practice unique is that I've combined these two disciplines into one practice: Trial Practice with a Technology focus. I currently practice in the technology corridor of the greater Eastside, just a few blocks from the Microsoft campus. I am active and licensed to practice in both California and Washington State in both State and Federal courts.

The emergence of technology and digital forensics within the legal community has put a premium on technology expertise. Whether the issue is the effective cross-examination of a digital forensics expert, a complex challenge to DNA software algorithms, or the effective use of multi-media courtroom presentations, having a command of technology provides a huge advantage to the modern trial lawyer, providing him or her with the ability to challenge opponents on both legal and technological grounds. This dual-discipline translates into a direct advantage for my clients.

My personal injury practice has included everything from slip and fall cases to wrongful death cases and includes decades of jury trial experience. I enjoy beating the the insurance companies, and I am willing to take even the most hopeless cases to trial if that's what's best for my client. My opponents give me the respect that comes from knowing that I fight vigorously and relentlessly. I've taken many cases to jury trial and have won spectacular, news-breaking victories that could never have been predicted. Every case is unique and I cannot of course promise or suggest that your case will have any particular result; the point is that I know how to conduct a complex jury trial and how to strategize and think on my feet when the stakes are high. Juries respect a confident and persuasive presentation of the evidence. Whatever facts are available to your case, they need to be presented logically and forcefully, with the confidence that comes from decades of experience and comfort in front of a jury.

As my client, you will have my personal email, my cell phone number, and an open door. And world-class representation. That's my commitment to you.
